Having problems with BP medication

[sandflopper]

Trying to control BP over 150/90 consistently. tried Ramipril - swollen ankles, Tried Losartan and suffered AF and angina. Any alternatives?

It's just a thought Sandflopper, but I've discovered that whenever I'm not breathing correctly that's when I'll get slightly high BP. Just try some deep breathing, letting the air whoosh out of your mouth quickly as you breathe out, to see if that reduces your blood pressure level. Once I reduce mine it generally stays that way.

Tried 5 till I found one that did the job. ibersartan is the name and been on it for more years than I care to remember,
